Sweden U19 2–1 Czech Republic U19

Sweden U19 looked in control after B. Brantlind opened the scoring in the 18th minute, and L. Arrhov's 77th-minute strike seemed to settle the friendly against Czech Republic U19. Then D. Lasek gave the visitors a nervy finish, pulling one back in the 85th minute and forcing Sweden to see out the final stretch under pressure. It wasn't enough to salvage a point, but it turned a routine scoreline into a proper finish. Two well-taken goals from Brantlind and Arrhov did the early damage, only for Lasek's late intervention to remind everyone how quickly a comfortable lead can turn uncomfortable in this age group. Sweden U19 held on for the 2-1 win, closing out a friendly that swung from cruise control to genuine tension in the space of a few minutes. Want to see how Lasek's late strike nearly turned the game on its head, and the two goals that made sure it didn't? The highlights below capture every twist, from Brantlind's opener to that anxious final whistle.
